Abstract
An improved bowling alley bumper system for selectively guarding against the throwing of gutter balls. An elongated guard is supported alongside the gutter and can be pivotally retracted or extended between a first position in which the gutter is exposed and unguarded and a second position in which gutter entry by a bowling ball is precluded by constructing the predominant portion of the system of prefabricated modular sections of relatively lightweight component parts, they can be longitudinally positioned end-to-end enabling significant cost savings to be realized for both fabrication and installation.
